The outside patio…read moreprovides stunning sunset views over the river, and the dark wood throughout allows vendors to really customize the space for each event. We saw it set up for a different event when we did the rehearsal, and it can really be a backdrop to many different styles. Staff was attentive and was able to transform the ceremony area into a stage/dance pit for Bag of Donuts in an extremely fast & unobtrusive manner. The food was catered in-house and it was DELICIOUS! The catfish tenders were my favorite, but everything was super good. The bar also has a super wide variety of domestic & craft beers and whips up delicious cocktails. FYI! The only way to get in & out in a long flight of stairs. There is not even a freight elevator for those who may be handicapped. The website does mention this, however, so points for transparency.

While nothing is blooming right now as it's still February, you can still quietly walk around and take in the seasonal nature. There are plenty of benches spread about so you can sit and take a break if needed. The grounds are very clean and clear of debris. I look forward to going once things bloom and brighten up a bit.

Now this is a hidden gem. I was made aware of this property last year, when Slow Food…read moreOrganization's "Dinner In The Field" event was held there. The property is enormous with a rustic barnyard ready to be the setting for your next special event. It's completely ideal for weddings, where the ceremony is in the grassy field under a giant tree and the reception in the barn area. Twinklelights brighten the room and transformed it into something magical. Dr. Grace, the owner of the property is super helpful and hospitable to those that come to enjoy the beauty of his venue. Anytime there is an event here, I always want to make sure I attend. There is nothing commercial about it and that is what make it so appealing. It's truly an authentic southern space that you will definitely fall in love with and keep in the back of your mind for your next special function. It's located in Plaquemine, LA (about 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge).

The Guru is a great event space located at the amazing Circa 1857 complex. It's tucked away toward…read morethe middle of the overall campus so it's conveniently located by the large interior parking area. This parking is off road, very large, fenced, and seems quite safe. The space itself is surrounded by other buildings and is medium sized. In keeping with the name, there are meditative motifs to the interior decorations. This space seems quite versatile, our group used the round tables with nice table cloths and folding chairs to enjoy a potluck and then hold a meeting. The space could be kept entirely open, used for talks or lectures, or ay sort of party. There are overhead doors on one wall that presumably could be opened for an indoor/outdoor event. Circa 1857 has such a great location on Government Street right be the Garden District, that it would be a convenient place to have a meeting or event. So don't hesitate to consider The Guru for your next gathering!

The owner is very sweet and you can tell she truly wants to provide a unique event space at a reasonable price. Another thing I loved about The Guru was being able to bring in your own food. It was hard for me to find a venue that let me bring my own food but also had the right #aesthetic lol! I didn't even decorate the place because it already done. They provided me with the tables (high top, circle, & rectangle), chairs, and even have linens available. There are 2 bathrooms and a back room where you can have your food/buffet set up. They even have this really awesome bar cart that my bartender was able to use! It can double for a beverage/food station too. (You know I added plenty of pics :P ) This is an extra bonus but I recently learned they also can host meetings, interview recordings, and more so it's not just for parties or weddings. On top of that, learning that the owner works to give back to the community/non profits is heartwarming. If you need an intimate, "not too big but just right" space, give this place a look!

If you want a classy wedding without all the hassles, I highly recommend The Gatehouse. The staff were very accommodating, and made what could have been a very stressful time, extremely easy. You can personalize as much as you like, or if you prefer to just let them do all the work, that's an option too. It included the venue, food, DJ, cake, even your guestbook. Basically, all you have to do is get your dress, minister, photographers, and flowers separately, and they even have recommendations for that! I HIGHLY recommend them!!

My friend Yolanda T Jones Williams and Marlon Williams did not have to worry.. Christie handled everything on the day of the wedding and throughout the entire experience! We were very pleased to the point that, I am contemplating having a destination wedding at the Gatehouse! I highly recommend the Gatehouse!"

Think high tea with scones and tidbit plates with the chandeliers brightly lit. Unfortunately, it wasn't set up like this, but it doesn't hurt to visualize, right? When I went, the venue was set up with rows of chairs and 2 grand pianos up front. Still quite lovely. It definitely could use a few updates, but not too many because it will take away from the historical feel of the space. I am not sure what else this space is most used for, but it's nice to know that it exists because I'd love to let more people know about it! It's definitely a hidden gem in downtown Baton Rouge.
